MasukSuri Thornclaw grew up knowing only her father’s hate. He called her curse, useless, and hid her away from the pack for years for killing her mother during her birth. He named her stepsister Emily his heir and poured all his love on her. But when the ruthless Lycan King demanded her father’s heir for a bride, her father gave Suri out as the Lycan King’s bride instead of his precious daughter. Suri was a wolf who could not shift, a survivor of a lifetime of secrets, and now, a pawn in a dangerous game of kings. She expected a cold marriage and a life of isolation; she did not expect to be the target of decades old war or the unwanted obsession of a King who thrived on order. Ragnar was a man of logic, violence, and blood. He married a weapon to use against his enemies, but he found a wildfire instead. As the lies of the past began to come out, both must decide who the real enemy is.

Dray and Connor had flown in from Dravengard earlier that morning specifically for the meeting.Ragnar shook the Alpha’s hand with a brief, firm grip and gave Luna Cassie a curt nod. Then he turned to his men.“Connor, you’re coming with me. You’ll guard my wife whenever I’m not present.”“As you wish, Your Grace,” Connor replied, bowing low.Ragnar’s gaze flicked to Dray. The other man gave him a subtle nod and moved towards another car. Connor held open the back door. As Ragnar reached it, he paused and glanced back at Alpha Lucas and his Luna.“I might have said some harsh things to you and your Luna last night,” he said in a sudden, strained voice. “You must know that I
That night, Suri found it almost impossible to sleep after everything Alistar and Flora had told her. Was it really true that the man she had called father all her life was the true villain? Why had none of it ever been recorded in the official histories? Growing up, she had always been taught that the Lycans were the oppressors, that the werewolves had only tried to defend themselves during the war. Now those childhood stories felt like lies she had swallowed without question. The thoughts spun round and round in her head until exhaustion finally pulled her into a restless, uneasy sleep.Sometime in the small hours, she felt the mattress dip beside her. A familiar warmth settled in the space where Ragnar belonged. Her body instinctively relaxed, tension bleeding out of her muscles, and she slipped into a deep, dreamless rest.When she finally cracked her eyes open, the morning sun was streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. She groaned, stretching as she turned over, only to
Suri stared at the beast, wide-eyed and breathless, as it stalked closer and closer. Her first instinct screamed at her to run, to bolt into the darkness and never look back, but for some reason, her feet remained rooted to the ground. Her heart pounded so hard against her ribs it felt like it might burst. She had never seen a Lycan in its shifted form before. They were far more terrifying and significantly larger than any werewolf she had ever encountered. To her complete surprise, the beast didn’t growl. As it reached her, it lowered its massive head to her level and gently pushed its snout into her arm, nuzzling her with unexpected softness.A tiny, startled laugh escaped her as she realised it wasn’t furious or about to attack. It just wanted affection. She reached up hesitantly and ran her hands over the thick scruff around its neck. A low, rumbling sound of approval vibrated through the beast’s chest, making Suri giggle again. The creature pressed closer until its snout was almo
The silence in the car was thick and heavy. Ragnar’s hands were clamped onto the steering wheel, his knuckles white as he stared straight ahead. Beside him, Suri kept shooting him quick, sideways glances, trying to gauge just how far the needle had moved on his temper.Finally, she let out a long breath. “Alpha Lucas and his Luna were actually great hosts,” she said, her voice small against the hum of the engine. “Don’t you think?”Ragnar didn’t answer. His grip on the wheel tightened further, his jaw set like granite. Suri watched his profile for a moment, her own frustration starting to simmer.“Why did you do that back there?” she asked.“Don’t,” he said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. “Do not ask me any questions.”“Look, I’m not trying to pry into who Sandra is or what she meant to you. I’m just saying you shouldn’t have been so rude to Alpha Lucas and his Luna. Especially not in his own home.”“One more word,” Ragnar warned, his eyes flashing in the dashboard lights, “and I
